This is a job that Jill, our AI Recruiter, is recruiting for on behalf of one of our customers. She will pick the best candidates from Jack's network. The next step is to speak to Jack. Job Title Software Engineer Salary $150k-$250k+ Company Description Fiddle is an early-stage startup in San Francisco building a new category of design tooling: an IDE for taste-makers that pairs a codebase with an infinite canvas to bridge the gap between design and production. Job Description Join a small founding team in San Francisco as a Software Engineer owning frontend architecture. You will build high-performance canvas virtualization and component systems that allow designers to work directly with production code. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of creative tools and engineering where interface is the product. Location San Francisco, USA Why this role is remarkable Join an elite founding team including a designer-founder and lead engineers formerly of Razorpay and Zepto to build a category-defining tool. Work in a high-density, in-person environment in San Francisco where "taste is the only moat" and craft is prioritized above all else. Own the core architecture of a product that replaces painful handoffs and static mockups with an infinite canvas paired directly with production code. What You Will Do Architect the core product interface and implement complex virtualization to support an infinite canvas with seamless scaling and high-performance rendering. Develop sophisticated component systems that pull production code into the editor, enabling designers and engineers to collaborate within a single environment. Build robust branching and version control features to ensure that users can prototype rapidly and ship experiences straight to production safely. The ideal candidate Possesses deep frontend craft with expert-level knowledge of React, Vite, and Tailwind, and a history of building complex, performant, and interactive UIs. Demonstrates a product-first mindset and "founding energy," ideally with previous experience as a founder or at an early-stage, high-growth startup. Values intense debate and feedback as a means to improve the product and has a track record of shipping high-quality creative or technical tools. Who are Jack & Jill? Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support. And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate. How does this work? Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you. Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network. If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives. We never post fake jobs This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description. We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it. Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
